Wow, that is unbelievably degenerate. I'll never understand how someone can pidgeon-hole themselves into an identity like that.

Wow, I was wondering if e.g. Ghostty could implement something like this but that's cool it's already proven out. Does everything still go "through" tmux (so parsing etc. is still …

So am I identifying the bottlenecks that motivate this design correctly? 1. Go FFI is slow 2. Per-proto generated code specialization is slow, because of icache pressure I know the…

Where are all of the upvotes and comments?!? I love this and 2swap's other work so much. Btw, I believe this entire video is animated with custom C++: https://github.com/2swap/swap…

Tried starting a "run every day for a year" initiative last year. Wish it was for me, after 42 days I realized that I actually actively despise running and spend most of my time no…

Thanks for this! I was quickly able to find some interesting new and niche types of things to read, in contrast to what my normal strolls through news.ycombinator and hckrnews give…

A couple weeks ago, one of my physical stick of RAM completely stopped working after yet another Linux out-of-memory-force-poweroff situation. No idea if that could be the proper c…

Favorite quote from the article: "It's better to have a hole in your team than an asshole."

I'm not exactly sure the monoculture argument is valid for Windows vs. Linux though; Linux still dominated server usage while Windows was attacked more often, despite the fact that…

I'm also building a computer and just purchased an i7 9700K for $400. I also wonder what the equivalent-performance AMD processor would be given the performance loss of these patch…

Mario 64 romhacks are sometimes distributed as patches to the original game instead of the complete modified game as well, and since it's just a diff it's not subject to copyright.…

Nice reference! On Linux I have a keybinding which opens a terminal with a fzf listing of my password entries. when I select the name I want, it types the password with xdotool int…

Interesting, it's the opposite for me. If I'm feeling rotten, unmotivated, unproductive, and guilty about it, I'll tend to stay up later because my "self-discipline for the day" wi…

Preventing unnecessary deaths of children is not exactly in the same class of severity as preventing a computer from running malicious code in my opinion.

I originally used an Xbox controller as a case, but the hardware was my own. Eventually I ended up putting everything inside a Raspberry Pi case. Inside I put a protoboard with an …

Interesting, I've never noticed that before. I would guess it's a lens artifact, since it seems to move depending on where the sun is in the frame.

Yes, my use of jankest is possibly 100% contrived. Also, I recently added a comment with a photo album if you are interested!

Hi, I'm the creator! Thank you all for your thoughtful comments. Some of you wanted a photo album of the journey; I quickly collected one here [0]. Apologies for duplicates, no des…

Blue light blocking glasses have had such a tremendously positive effect on my sleep habits (earlier bedtime, better sleep quality) that at this point I genuinely feel bad for peop…

No worries, it wasn't dumb to say that! Your intention just wasn't 100% clear to me.

I'm also in the situation where I'd like to try to reverse binaries for the custom PowerPC chips in Gamecube/Wii/Wii U. I'm wondering if it might be easier to rewrite the assembly …
